To help ensure that homelessness does not become a generational problem in a veteran’s family, we offer educational scholarships each year. Recipients, who must be residents of Collier County, can use the funds for undergraduate or graduate level courses, vocational programs, or certificate courses. The Collier Community Foundation administers the program on our behalf. To learn more, apply, or to donate to the scholarship fund, visit www.colliercf.org.
